Terri Thanks for the clarification I was flying by the seat of my pants. I believe the account I wanted was the one by Elsey which lists his mother's family. Her father was apparently John Wiley McCarty who he states was the son of Wiley, the son of Richard. Who was a Rev war Captain. But I think there is info as well in the wiley account. The name wiley gets into this family somewhere and they are likely related. I still believe that Wiley McCarty and John Wiley are th same individual, however. There ia a lo6t about Elsey's account that doesn't check and the connection to Scott County Virginia which could be key to coinnecting the McCarties of Magoffin and Johnson counties and the Magoffin family to John McCarty of the Louisville area (son of Nicholas) through his eldest son Abner who I believe to be the same as the Abner of Scott county Virginia. John McCarty's wife being te daughter of Reverend Adam Smith is also a clue to the relationship to these early eastern KY Scots Irish settlers.
